Don't let the government get involved or they'll uphold the monopoly with regulations I've seen it many times

In epistemology, the Münchhausen trilemma is a thought experiment used to demonstrate the impossibility of proving any truth, even in the fields of logic and mathematics. If it is asked how any given proposition is known to be true, proof may be provided.

Empathy is not a given human trait. It randomly occurs at various levels. That is why empathy is no evidence for ethical standing.

I know a little about Munchausen's but not a trilema, no. @Doc

@Jorgen Johnson I know. I teach epistemology.

Talking to your opponents without trying to understand them is lacking in empathy and not conducive to constructive dialog

Randomly shitting on atheists and implying that this is their politics, numerous times in this conversation? That is evidence of this lack of empathy

You are so single minded you have never seen the world from another pov

I'm not an atheist

Fuggit, Googling it

@Zuluzeit It is Fabulous. It is where the human consciousness meets its limit. And there are only three pathways from there. One is Dogma. And since humans have a low uncertainty tolerance, it explains why dogmas becomes so important.

But it makes me cringe very hard every time you say things like that.

Taking a stand on principle is not about empathy. It is about the line which when crossed is a declaration of war. The Left declared war the Right will finish it.

Cultish ^^

@Doc The God of the Gaps steps in readily to fill that need. Lol

For you what is cultish is anything you cannot control.

@Whithers Empathy is a mistranslation of the german "einfühlen" - originally used in extension of art and architecture. It is a learned function of the brain. Like anything else.

Incorrect.

@Zuluzeit Indeed! And Munchausens trilemma explains very much why that is.

I have enjoyed our conversations and I hope they continue. I am concerned that your fixation on "The Left" being inherently evil is an unhealthy StrawMan argument. Even Trump said that there were many fine people on both sides. I fervently assert that I am a centrist, but others could consider me a "leftist", because my opinions on certain matters may be left of theirs. I assure you that I am a proud American and only want the best for our country. Everything is a matter of perspective. None of us has all the answers, but recognizing what we have in common over what we don't and acknowledging the innate sincerity in wanting to do good that each of us has as human beings is the foundation that this country was built on.

Major news networks thrive and make money on our civil unrest. They appear to have been promoting this for their own financial gain. The internet alone allows outside influence to create civil unrest. People in this very chat were, and probably are still pushing for civil war and attempting to influence a war.

@Doc Then explain how empathy is specifically lacking in those with the lack of bio-physical brain development that results in Anti-Social Behavioral Disorders.

Hey, I'm a centrist and get called a conservative nutjob because I feel like you can use force to defend property.

"noone speaks warmer of war than those who never had to fight in one"

You are talking in a room with atheists who might agree with you. Or "Leftists" who might agree with you on a lot of things. Then you just defame them midsentence for no constructive reason. Because they are your Enemy, the enemy of your little group, and you have framed all your enemies in these caricatures. That is what I call cultish.

@Whithers No problem, it was never learned.

Or, as is the case in some cases of autism, congenital disorders have led to a defect in the terminal endings of the mirror neurons, where they attach to amygdala. Represented in fMRI as "amygdalian athropy".

Tabula Rasa is an unprovable assertion. Just a religion without a god.

Mixing religion and politics = cultish

Debateable.

Assuming your Enemy is uniformly described by some caricature = cultish

@Maw Well, you can use force to defend property. Which is a scientifically provable fact.

Everything is a diversion... They don't want us to see what is right in front of our faces: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxmrcfbklVg

I mean... no one is saying you can't.

@Whithers Antisocial personality disorder is, however, showing equivocality, it is a heterogenous and not very well defined group. As Robert Hare himself said: "we have been lookig the wrong places".,

I think we can even repeat that experiment.

It's not even a question of science.

lol

It's not debatable because I am merely defining my use of the term in this conversation (:

@Whithers If you want to learn more about antisocial PD, we should perhaps petition @Maw for a forensic science room.

Doc he isn't going to listen to you
